Trek Domane Classics Edition E2 Asymmetric Steerer

Trek gave the Domane an asymmetric steerer tube and a head tube that appears wider from the front. Trek says this feature adds side-to-side stiffness to the bike’s front end while allowing greater vibration damping.

Trek Domane Classics Edition IsoSpeed Decoupler

A major comfort feature of the Domane is the IsoSpeed decoupler at the seat tube-top tube junction. The decoupler allows the seat tube to move independently of the top tube, which makes for a smoother ride.

Another aero-boosting touch: hiding the rear brake behind the bottom bracket to reduce wind drag. The front brake is also integrated into the fork.

Trek Madone 7 E2 Head Tube

The Madone’s E2 head tube uses an 1-1/8” bearing on top, tapering from a 1-1/2” on the bottom. Trek says this provides the rigidity of a larger head tube, but without the additional weight of a full 1-1/2” head tube.
